Share your favourite gear. Post what you long for. Let us know what you're getting!

Electronics, computers, gadgets, software!

It's Technoporn!

This week I signed up for a securities course, and so I ordered this baby:
It's a Sharp EL-738 business/finance calculator.



I'll be using it to calculate ratios and shit. It's going to be fucking awesome!

It's equipped to handle:
  • Compound interest calculations
  • Bond calculations
  • Constant/chain calculations

I have to wait up to 5 business days before it arrives with my package. I'm forming an unhealthy obsession over it.

Okay, whaddya got?

well even though version 9 was working just fine..

I picked up 3dsMax 2010, Maya 2010, MotionBuilder 2010, Mudbox 2010 Softimage 2010 and Zbrush

Going to upgrade to FCP v3 this week (even though FCP sucks).

hmm I know I picked up something else.. can't remember what it was though.

Mmm...67 terabyte server



Mmm...petabyte in a rack

edit: I also have had a huge boner for Samsung's LED TV's since I saw them at CES. I think when my DLP bulb finally bites it I'll be upgrading.

On the topic of something I'm actually GETTING, I just preordered a CinemaTube:





The AppleTV with Boxee solution is great...right up until you start trying to play HD content, at which point it takes a big 3fps frame-skipping dump. For $99, I figured even if I just use this to play HD content, I can't go wrong!

I love my PS3.

The feature I use the most (more than actual gaming) is using it as a media server to stream video and music from my computer on my TV and surround sound. Love it.

I just bought a Supermicro CSE 942-600B on craigslist for $25 :-D



Yay for 10 bays of hot swapping goodness! I already transplanted my windows home server into it, now I just need to buy 6 more 1.5TB drives...

Got a new compy coming in a few hours..

Intel i7 870 cpu
4gigs DDR3
Nvidia QuadroFX5600 video card

those are the big hitters of the new machine.. the video card is drooooool...

I think it's got a SSD in it for the main drive also.. I'm not sure.. I just told them what processor and video card I wanted.. they mentioned getting a SSD to run the OS and everything else will go either on the media servers or the native 5TB's I'm running.

just hoping the guy who's putting it together doesn't fuck it all up.

My 4U Supermicro server now has a dwelling befitting a machine of its heritage, in my master bedroom closet, as well as dual-quad-core Dell 2U friend:



Fun fact: That rack is a

, a product I single-handedly designed, modeled, and engineered when I worked there. Since I designed it, they graciously gave me a free one left over from a tradeshow

^ Nice Rack!

Seriously though that about the size I've been in search of for a long time now. Figures I'd find it when I'm broke and my job is on less then sure footing.

The ultimate in Nerd Porn -- The Cisco CRS-3.



Capable of up to 322 Tbps of throughput. That's about three and a half times the capacity of the older CRS-1, or equivalent to 4.5 million of the top tier 50/20 FiOS connections.

Yours for the low low price of only $90 000.*

*Chassis only -- line cards are available for an additional fee.

Oh hey speaking of, I managed to nab a Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx, plus some other older equipment. I'm dismantling a 7000 router right now. I think I'm gonna make a homebrew blade server out of it
